" If we can kill what scares you, we can *be* what scares you."
You may not like it, but they *do* make a valid point against the incredibly naive argument of "what do you think the 2nd Amendment will do for you against a government that's got tanks & jet fighters?" And I say this as a veteran of said war.
Nobody lives in a tank or jet fighter forever. They have to get out sometime. If they're my enemy - if they've betrayed their oaths to defend the Constitution & they're gunning for my family - & all I've got are small arms & explosives, *that's* when I'd get those traitors. When they go out on the town to eat. When they're putting gas in their car. When they're knocking back drinks after a long day of hunting for insurgents and their guard is down.
I know this b/c when I & my wife were in the service, those were areas we identified as vulnerable to our troops. Just a couple months ago, at our last stateside duty station, they sacked a domestic terrorist plotter who was sitting in burger joint, writing down names of service-members & times when they'd enter & leave.
It'd be the crowning achievement of terminal stupidity for the government to go after veterans, b/c we just spent the past 15 years fighting it's sand-wars & hunting the monsters that made all the little weasels in D.C. wet their underroos.
If we can kill what scares you, we can *be* what scares you. You don't want that. *We* don't want that. We're all Americans here, we're supposed to all be on the same side. So how about cutting those witch-hunt paranoia funds from the Department of Homeland Stasi & reallocating that $$$ to better healthcare services for vets, eh? That's a good gov. Sit.

Your Say
I just couldn't wade very far into that horribly written article. The author puffs up every sentence with 50% more words than needed.
So when I got to this part I said enough is enough already:

"Union: less slavery, Confederacy, more slavery"

That site seems to be the web version of the rag I read when I was kid, I shall not go back.

I liked the picture, but I wouldn't go for head shots unless that was the only thing presented. Go for the biggest lethal target, which is center of mass. 180 grains of various lead and copper alloys through the chest at 2,000 FPS+ is going to give someone a very bad day.
